Show Notes

This three-chapter investigative narrative examines the rise and collapse of Enron, tracing how a celebrated corporate innovator used aggressive accounting, hidden partnerships, and market manipulation to project unstoppable success. Told with a gritty, pressure-driven tone, the story centers on how confidence replaced reality, how employees were encouraged to risk everything on company stock, and how the system held together only as long as belief remained intact. When that belief cracked, the consequences were immediate and devastating.
